Week 10

This week we discussed chapter 10 which was over E-commerce, selling and buying goods online. We discussed this on Tuesday in class. Then on Thursday we went a little more in-depth with a case study over online groceries. We also took a clicker quiz over the chapter on Thursday which I did decent on. Ever since Thursday, our group has been trying to straighten things out with Google on our funds for our AdWords account since I put in the wrong CID thinking we were supposed to make our own CID up and stick with it. I was wrong and now we're in a big mess. Hopefully that will get worked out fairly soon so we can get our campaign up and running to meet our deadline or at least close to it. That was basically what I did this week. Hopefully the week after spring break runs a bit more smoothly.
    This week we learned about E-commerce. The main thing that I learned myself was the different business models businesses can take. I also learned that my groups business does not employ any of these models (information broker, portal, social networking, etc.) and that they don't really need to since it is more of a B2B, business to business, model and there is not a lot of interactivity needed other than a phone number. Also since it's B2B there's not a lot of need for information density on the site since the other business probably already knows what they need/want. That is basically a wrap up of what I have learned this week in CIST 3100. Have a great spring break!
